Why data, supply chain visibility and people determine SAP GTS success

SAP GTS projects rarely struggle because of technology. More often, the root causes lie in poor data, limited supply chain visibility, and the challenge of aligning multiple stakeholders with different objectives. This session shares lessons learned from supporting global trade compliance transformations for multinational organizations and examines what successful companies do differently. Moving beyond implementation theory, we will discuss how to overcome common hurdles related to customs data, operating models, supplier ecosystems, and organizational buy-in. Attendees will learn how leading organizations build trust in their data, connect trade compliance with broader supply chain decisions, and navigate the human side of transformation across Trade Compliance, Tax, Finance, Legal, IT, and executive leadership to unlock the full value of SAP GTS.
